Is anyone using webcams as a form of staying connected? I’ve actually played around with them a bit. In fact, I used one for a meeting last week. It definitely made a difference being able to see the person I was speaking to. Really made us feel more connected.
On my Mac, the camera is built in, which is fabulous. I’m thinking of purchasing one for my PC. Some of them come with software to add all kinds of fun effects. As we see people travel less for business and pleasure, I wonder if webcams and videoconferencing will be used more? What do you think?

I have noticed that my kids are using their cell phones to text more than to talk. I observed my daughter and she will text her friends repeatedly from her room versus picking up her cell phone to call them. It is not just the Y generation. I text a lot as well via my BlackBerry. I use text messaging as a means to get my thoughts out fast without requiring a long, drawn out conversation. I am on conference calls all day, so the last thing I want to do when I leave work is talk on the phone. So I text folks when I’m not at work.
Text messaging has always been informal. You do not have to be accurate and polished in what you say. The main reason I use text messaging is that I want to get the word out quickly without being cordial, and the recipient can respond quickly. I am not advocating that there is no place for effective verbal communication. I just think text messaging has a place as well.
What are your thoughts?
